I knew I had one of these Empires at War laser cut kits in the stash somewhere and I managed to locate it today, after an exhaustive rummage in the garage. As I mentioned previously, I have quite a lot of 28mm desert terrain already but, as I enjoy terrain making, I am going to add this one to the .to do' list. As I'm only building a minimum of new terrain pieces for the project, I can also spend a bit more time to pimp this one up with a detailed interior and a nice paint job, rather than just spray painting and drybrusing it as usual. I'm also planning to scratch build some acacia brush, some zarebas and perhaps some sections of incomplete railway track, so that I can run some interesting skirmish scenarios.
Wow, that’s a great blockhouse. Plenty of potential scenario uses for that. For a railway scenario, I read once of an incident where a crucial nut was dropped along the tracks, and there was no spare so some Bengal Lancers were sent along the track to find it, which they did.
ReplyDeleteThat would make a great scenario!
DeleteIt's a distinctive build, very much say 'Sudan' to me. I made one with a zariba fence for my 6mm stuff years ago.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice kit..hopefully it will look good assembled and painted.
DeleteDang, I will have to give Empires at war some money for one of those block houses.
ReplyDeleteIt's not on their website but you can find it on eBay.
DeleteGood to know.
DeleteVery nice and a new company for me to go and explore.
ReplyDeleteThey do have some very nice things...and you can get them pre painted.
